The two men had met once before, when Engels visited the office of the radical Rheinische Zeitung in 1842, of which Marx had been appointed editor just one month prior. Marx, mistakenly believing that Engels was associated with the Berliner Young Hegelians, received him coolly, and they parted somewhat distrustful of one another. When the Rheinische Zeitung was forced to close in March 1843 under the weight of state censorship, Marx and his fellow editor Arnold Ruge decided to produce the Jahrbücher as a way of reuniting German and French socialists. Engels was among the impressive list of contributors, alongside Mikhail Bakunin, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Heinrich Heine. The very rare first and only issue contains the first appearance of both Marx’s first major work, Zur Kritik der Hegel’schen Rechtsphilosophie (including his famous remark that religion is “das Opium des Volks”), and Engels’s first work on economics, Umrisse zu einer Kritik der Nationalökonomie, which was to have an immense impact on Marx’s subsequent writings. Around 1,000 copies were printed, but 800 were soon confiscated by German police. Having come to respect each others’ work, Marx and Engels met for the second time at the end of August 1844 in Paris, and their almost complete agreement in all theoretical fields concretised their friendship. 4 karl marx | peter harrington 1 MARX, Karl, & Arnold Ruge (editors & con- tributors). Deutsch-Französische Jahrbüch- er … 1ste und 2te Leiferung [double number, all published]. Paris: Bureau der Jahrbücher, 1844 5 The foundations of historical materialism The second meeting of Marx and Engels in August 1844 was also the beginning of their first collaboration, a critique of their former associates of the Young Hegelian school whose views were still very popular in academic circles. Taking Kritik der kritischen Kritik (Critique of Critical Criticism) as a working title, they agreed to co-author the foreword, and divided up the other sections between them. Engels completed his portion of 20 pages while still at Marx’s apartment in Paris, but it was several months before he would realise that the agreed-upon pamphlet had, under Marx’s pen, grown to more than 300 pages and had been renamed Die heilige Familie (The Holy Family), a sarcastic reference to the Bauer brothers and their supporters. “Considered as the production of young men, the book is a remarkable piece of critical work, alike by reason of its brilliant style and the great learning it displays … The importance of the work for us lies in the evidence it affords of the development of the theory of historical materialism in the mind of Marx. In place of the brief and almost vague hints which appeared in the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher articles, there is a more positive and emphatic tone.” (John Spargo, Karl Marx: His Life and Work) 6 karl marx | peter harrington 2 MARX, Karl, & Friedrich Engels. Die heilige Familie, oder Kritik der kritischen Kritik. Gegen Bruno Bauer & Consorten. Frankfurt: Literarische Anstalt ( J. Rütten), 1845 7 Against Proudhon In 1846 the French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon published his chief work, Système des contradictions économiques ou philosophie de la misère. Though Marx had previously been on amicable terms with Proudhon—he had defended Proudhon’s denunciation of private property in Die heilige Familie—he violently opposed the economic message of Philosophie de la misère and immediately began composing a response. Isaiah Berlin called the result, Misère de la philosophie, issued in a small edition of 800 copies, “the bitterest attack delivered by one thinker upon another since the celebrated polemics of the Renaissance”. A masterpiece of critical writing, it is bitingly satirical in its trivialization of Proudhon’s theories and quickly created a sensation in radical circles. Perhaps most significantly, it furthered the development of Marx’s materialistic conception of history, namely that history must be interpreted in the light of economic development. 8 karl marx | peter harrington 3 MARX, Karl. Misère de la philosophie. Réponse à la philosophie de la misère de M. Proudhon. Paris & Brussels: A. Frank and C. G. Vogler, 1847 9 The only known copy of the Communist Manifesto inscribed by Marx The Communist Manifesto is widely acknowledged to be one of the most influential political documents of all time. Its sharp analysis, moral passion, and stylistic eloquence presented communism as the necessary and inevitable product of the historical development of capitalism. Few texts have been reprinted so many times or translated into so many languages. Commissioned by the Communist League’s second congress in December 1847, the Manifesto was completed the following January and published in London, fittingly just before the beginning of the French and German revolutions of 1848. The Hirschfeld edition is often styled “the third ‘first’ edition”, with precedence given to the two other editions dated 1848, both printed in London by Burghard. Census records for the printer and mentions of the edition’s production in Marx’s correspondence suggest that the Hirschfeld edition was in fact printed during the early 1860s, around the same time that Hirschfeld was printing Herr Vogt for the German publisher Alfred Petsch. All three editions are very rare. This is an exceptional presentation copy of the Communist Manifesto, inscribed to the French revolutionist and the Marx family’s close friend Gustave Flourens, “À mon ami Gustave Flourens. Karl Marx. Londres, 1. Mai. 1870”. It remains the only known copy of the Manifesto to be inscribed by Marx. The only other presentation copy known to scholarship is that inscribed by Engels to Alfred Herman, the Belgian socialist. Flourens (1838–1871), though a naturalist and biologist by profession, distinguished himself foremost as a revolutionary through his participation in a number of uprisings 10 karl marx | peter harrington across Europe during the 1860s and 70s, before being elected to the Paris Commune. During his visits to the Marx family in London in April 1870 he became a close personal friend, and was admired by them for his integrity and passion. 4 [MARX, Karl, & Friedrich Engels.] Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei. Veröffentlicht im Februar 1848. London: R. Hirschfeld, 1848 [but 1860–1] 11 Marx’s research on banking and stockbroking The incendiary nature of the Communist Manifesto resulted in Marx’s expulsion, in quick succession, from Belgium, Germany, and France, and he arrived in London from Paris in August 1849. As he struggled to come to terms with the Revolution of 1848 and experienced increasingly strained relations with his associates, he spent considerable time in the British Museum, studying in depth source materials in an attempt to establish and explain a world theory of capital. In this, the 20th leaf from the second of 24 notebooks that he filled between 1850 and 1858, he transcribes extracts from J. W. Gilbart’s A Practical Treatise on Banking in his almost indecipherable hand, combining English transcription with German commentary: “Der stockbroker, too, will call ‘after the market is open’, to inform the banker ‘how things are going’ on the Stock Exchange, welche Operationen Statthaben, und ob Geld abundant oder scarce ‘in the house’ ist, ebenso die rumours ‘afloat betreffend die funds’…” 12 karl marx | peter harrington 5 MARX, Karl.

  • Edward Carpenter: a Life of Liberty and Love by Sheila Rowbotham, Verso Books, 2008, 565 Pp
    Edward Carpenter: A life of liberty and love by Sheila Rowbotham, Verso Books, 2008, 565 pp. Peter Tatchell This is one of the best political biographies for many years. As well as being a book about a sadly forgotten icon of past progressive history, it is bursting with ideas that are still relevant to the future of humanity – relevant for all people, LGBT and straight. Author Shelia Rowbotham, the much-loved socialist feminist historian, has written an incredibly moving, inspiring account of the personal and political life of the prophetic gay English author, poet, philosopher and humanitarian, Edward Carpenter, 1844-1929. Arguably the true pioneer of the LGBT rights movement in England, he lived openly and defiantly with his life-long partner George Merrill. In the nineteenth century, he wrote some the earliest essays and pamphlets advocating homosexual law reform and spoke out enthusiastically for women’s rights. Unlike many others, he understood the connection between sexism and heterosexism: that the struggle for women’s rights and gay rights are closely tied together (a view that was resurrected by the Gay Liberation Front in the early 1970s and by OutRage! in the 1990s). Decades ahead of his time on many social issues, Carpenter advocated green socialism, women’s suffrage, contraception, curbs on pollution, sex education in schools, pacifism, animal rights, recycling, prison reform, worker’s control, self-sufficiency, vegetarianism, homosexual equality, naturism and free love. His socialism was libertarian, decentralised, self-governing, cooperative and environmentalist, with a strong streak of anarchism, individualism and (non-religious) spiritualism. He argued that socialism was as much about the way we live our personal lives as about changing the economic, political, social and cultural systems.

In this chapter I will first present a brief synoptic overview of the history of the iwma (in its varied forms) in Italy and abroad from 1864 to 1881. I will then exam- ine interpretations of aspects of Italian Internationalism: Mazzinian Repub- licanism and the origins of anarchism, the Italians, Bakunin and interactions with Marx and his ideas, the theory and practice of propaganda by the deed and the rise of a third-way socialism neither fully reformist nor revolutionary, neither Marxist nor anarchist.

  • Anti-Duhring
    Friedrich Engels Herr Eugen Dühring’s Revolution in Science Written: September 1876 - June 1878; Published: in Vorwärts, Jan 3 1877-July 7 1878; Published: as a book, Leipzig 1878; Translated: by Emile Burns from 1894 edition; Source: Frederick Engels, Anti-Dühring. Herr Eugen Dühring’s Revolution in Science, Progress Publishers, 1947; Transcribed: [email protected], August 1996; Proofed and corrected: Mark Harris 2010. Formerly known as Herr Eugen Dühring's Revolution in Science, Engels’ Anti-Dühring is a popular and enduring work which, as Engels wrote to Marx, was an attempt “to produce an encyclopaedic survey of our conception of the philosophical, natural-science and historical problems.” Marx and Engels first became aware of Professor Dühring with his December 1867 review of Capital, published in Ergänzungsblätter. They exchanged a series of letters about him from January-March 1868. He was largely forgotten until the mid-1870s, at which time Dühring entered Germany's political foreground. German Social-Democrats were influenced by both his Kritische Geschichte der Nationalökonomie und des Sozialismus and Cursus der Philosophie als streng wissenschaftlicher Weltanschauung und Lebensgestaltung. Among his readers were included Johann Most, Friedrich Wilhelm Fritzsche, Eduard Bernstein – and even August Bebel for a brief period. In March 1874, the Social-Democratic Workers’ Party paper Volksstaat ran an anonymous article (actually penned by Bebel) favorably reviewing one of Dühring's books. On both February 1 and April 21, 1875, Liebknecht encouraged Engels to take Dühring head-on in the pages of the Volksstaat. In February 1876, Engels fired an opening salvo with his Volksstaat article “Prussian Vodka in the German Reichstag”.

  • Marx, Bakunin, and the Question of Authoritarianism - David Adam
    Marx, Bakunin, and the question of authoritarianism - David Adam Historically, Bakunin’s criticism of Marx’s “authoritarian” aims has tended to overshadow Marx’s critique of Bakunin’s “authoritarian” aims. This is in large part due to the fact that mainstream anarchism and Marxism have been polarized over a myth—that of Marx’s authoritarian statism—which they both share. Thus, the conflict in the First International is directly identified with a disagreement over anti-authoritarian principles, and Marx’s hostility toward Bakunin is said to stem from his rejection of these principles, his vanguardism, etc. Anarchism, not without justification, posits itself as the “libertarian” alternative to the “authoritarianism” of mainstream Marxism. Because of this, nothing could be easier than to see the famous conflict between the pioneering theorists of these movements—Bakunin and Marx—as a conflict between absolute liberty and authoritarianism. This essay will bring this narrative into question. It will not do this by making grand pronouncements about Anarchism and Marxism in the abstract, but simply by assembling some often neglected evidence. Bakunin’s ideas about revolutionary organization lie at the heart of this investigation. Political Philosophy We will begin by looking at some differences in political philosophy between Marx and Bakunin that will inform our understanding of their organizational disputes. In Bakunin, Marx criticized first and foremost what he saw as a modernized version of Proudhon’s doctrinaire attitude towards politics—the

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) dr section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
